I think the Uni’s are supposed to be some 21st century version of the first all star game uni’s. I’m not going to put photos in, but if you are familiar with the uniforms for the 1933 game they look similar to these albeit very ugly uniforms.

Good call Jason...

Rob, I hate the current all-star uniforms and wished they go back to every player wearing their teams uniform. It sounds like MLB is considering it.

Vintages 70s Yankees pennants.
 

Just picked up this batch for $250

Excited to get them in and cleaned up.

Any uncommon ones in the lot?

Excellent buy at that price. I would be interested in a few, if you are looking to move any. Just shoot me a PM, if so... Thanks!

That’s a helluva grab for $250!

Thanks!

Any idea on the bigger hits? I recently got more into pennants and man it is addicting.

That’s crazy! I gave up trying to count just the Yankees because there are either duplicate Yankees or duplicate photos. How many different Yankees did you get? Are you a Yankees collector or now a pennant collector? In either case, this was a great score for you. You mentioned cleaning…if you attempt this (I would! :p), I’d suggest you ask for advice here on a case by case basis. Some of us (me, bocca, fbguy) have had almost every result…from very good to very bad. :eek:

Thanks! I cleaned some before and they turned out well! Based on your info from my other pennant post with the signed Munson one, OxyClean worked wonders!

I checked the pictures and there are no duplicate pics. The seller had a lot of Yankees items.

I'd be interested in the Milwaukee Brewers pennant if its available.

That's a great haul for $250. Quite a few rare ones in there. Your version of Yankees Keezer is more rare than other versions of Yankees Keezer pennant out there. The bootleg with the top hat with names on it is another good one. I wouldn't be afraid to wash anything from the 1970s.

Definitely one of the cooler non-football pennants I’ve seen. Another Collegiate of Ames 3D. How has this stayed together all these years?

Hey all. I'm not a pennant guy. Thoughts on this item and price?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...01021f78a2.jpg

Wow.... That's almost as scandalous as the mermaid pennant they made around the same time....

It's a pretty common pennant from the 1960s. Assuming both sets of tassels are intact and the tip isn't blunted, $50 is about the right price. There's one available on ebay for $55 at the moment

A few new arrivals that brings me a couple for my World Series and ASG runs.

Many thanks!

For any pennant collectors that will be at the Cleveland National, I am bringing alot more vintage pennants than usual. About 1000, all priced (thanks to my wife for the pricing help). I’m at booth 342 for anyone who wants to dig - will have all sports including a lot of rare hockey, minor league baseball, etc.

Glad to add this one. Had been on my wantlist for a few years. Very nice condition.

Nice, Marc. Late 1930s I believe.

Great pennant! Even though yellow and green have nothing to do with our Giants, it's a good color combo.

Amazing!

Great pickup Rob. To bring the thread across to the Bronx, I had these Yankees pennants arrive today.

I know the 1st pennant (with the names around the ball), is the sister pennants to the Dodgers version. I've not seen many of either version but I've seen multiples more of the Dodgers version. Is the Yankees version the rarer of the two?

Great pennants, Gary. I think the Yankees and Dodgers are both extremely rare, especially difficult to find in good condition. Congrats!

What year is that Yankees pennant with the names around the ball? Same (or close to same) batter appears on some Giants pennants.

1948

Actually, I believe the pair dates to 1949. (Dodgers didn't win the pennant in '48.)

Interestingly enough, the Dodger companion pennant bears a copyright mark on it: "1949 H. Wohlke." The US Catalogue of Copyright Entries lists this mark as being associated with one Arthur Rand, presumably the artist responsible for the crossed bats and ball artwork. Unclear if the batter was included in the copyright.....

I haven't found much more on this Arthur Rand. "H. Wohlke" was Henry Wohlke, the apparent owner of the copyright. I suspect Henry Wohlke may have owned the company that made these pennants, but I have yet to confirm this.

Well...I think this pretty much confirms it. :D

HUGE thanks to our friend Domer for making these incredible Pacific Coast League pennants available to me. The Venice Tigers date the group (two-thirds of the entire PCL) to 1913-15 and Marc has helped pinpoint to the same era from another non baseball pennant in this style. These are all 35” long.

They are already in their custom-fitted holders and up for display. If anyone somehow comes across either the LA Angels or Sacramento Solons from this series, kindly give me a holler.

Also very cool to get this beautiful hand-made repro of the elusive 1916 Dodgers Champions pennant. Incredibly nice!

So, those are real deal and not Biebesheimer repros? :eek:

Your research continues to blow my mind.

They are real and they’re spectacular …

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great info Kyle. Is it possible that Henry Wohlke worked for one of the pennant companies rather than having his own company?

Wow! I didn’t know Kyle was sitting on such a hoard.

Anything's possible. All we know is Henry Wohlke "claimed" (owned) the copyright. And, he's not credited as the artist.

He could have been the attorney that filed the copyright, on behalf of someone else? Most likely, he was some novelty operator that sold pennants in the New York City area.

What's really odd is that the copyright only appears on the Brooklyn pennant--and not the Yankees companion piece from the same '49 world series. Why?
It's the very same artwork!

And just like the PCL Pennants, they measure up at 35" :rolleyes:

I was happy to add this circa 1910 oversized Red Sox pennant recently - I have a few Red Sox pennants from the same timeframe, but this one is a new favorite! Fits in great with some panoramics and other Red Sox items from that era!

Missing tassels though …

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fabulous display!

Wow, Scott. Very impressive. Got any others to share?

Recent acquisition. Is our resident Tigers collector here? I had never seen this before, have you?

Does not resemble any pennants from the companies we know.

I've never seen this pennant before. The Tigers were good at using the same style Tiger and lettering across multiple pennants. I was unable to find a Tiger pennant that matches this style lettering or Tiger design.

Thanks … FYI it looks like it is very old but it feels more like 1950s.

Is this vintage, modern, fantasy? Only pic I have at this time.

Looks like this one, but that edging seems odd to me.

Great! Found it in the book now also. It appears brown but the book shows blue. Is that normal fading? The edges look to be added after then for display purposes.

Looks like it was made that way to me. And the brown is too brown to be from fading in my opinion. In what book can you see that the picture was blue? Egner's book is black and white.

The Apple Books version of his book is color.

Cool...I didn't know that. In any event...It's a rare one. I haven't seen one before. Maybe someone here has.

I've owned a couple of these. They came in dark blue and black. The ornate edging is original to the pennant, but the example in question has faded significantly. Probably the result of years of direct sunlight. Still, a pretty rare find.

Will add pics shortly. I just went and bought it! Well loved but absolute beauty in person!!

I've seen blue fade to brown in older pennants. I think Oooribay has a version of this for the NY Giants.

Love that it is a different material than most pennants. Really great aesthetic.

Here is my best faded to brown pennant. I believe it started somewhere between blue and purple.

That's the most brown used to be blue pennant I've ever seen.

It almost looks like it was meant to be brown. The edge colors really pop in person.

And it feels like a potato sack.

a) I don’t think I do.

b) Made in ____ ?

c) get the iron out!

Add it to your “Good Stuff I Used To Own” thread. :p

NY Giants!
 

New arrival. Seems like it’s taken forever to arrive. Paid more than I wanted to because people suck, lol.

Several references attribute the player to being Carl Hubbell, although unproven I guess. Fantastic condition with tassels intact. Egner’s book says it’s “Very Rare”. 3/4 size, 1930’s.

Love this NY Giants design. Here is mine. For some reason, the black version of this pennant has a really wide spine. Most other versions tend to have an especially skinny spine, although I have seen a green with yellow version that also has this really thick spine. I missed out on a teal version of this pennant with red tassels a few years ago that was gorgeous. I simply forgot to bid (nobody remind ooo-ribay about this).

Yours looks to be in really nice shape! Vibrant colors!

Thanks. Yours too.

I think I've also see a purple version.

Yep…

That’s stellar! I’ve seen the two orange and black variations, but I wonder why they made purple?

Nice, Mark! That looks great. It almost matches the purple pennant I first posted a few months ago.

I'm not sure of the exact age of these pennants, but the purple was a color associated with the Giants before orange and black. I think they first used orange and black in the mid 1930s.

I'll try to find the teal version... which suggests that the pennant color may have had as much to do with available stock as opposed to team colors.

Mini version, slightly different

Mark- is your purple pennant full size? Or 3/4?

I attended my first major league game in 1961. As great as watching the actual game was, equally as thrilling for me was if we arrived early enough to check out the many vendors outside the ballpark. I was always allowed one souvenir and what a tough decision. Anyway, my point to all this is I have never believed pennant makers were ever worried about the team colors, but did want a variety of colors as children always have a favorite color. Never once did I think about team colors when deciding on a particular pennant. Of course I’m sure the makers also used what they had on hand, but always bought a variety of colors so as to please all kids. As I recall, all pennants had at least 4 or 5 different colors to choose from and never once was my decision based on a teams colors.

It is 3/4 size, just like the others. But unlike the purple pennant you recently posted, it's thick felt, as opposed to cloth.

Your purple pennant with orange tassels is the best example of that particular pennant I've seen. No fading whatsoever, and clean as a whistle. Not sure why, but that pennant is almost always found torn and tattered. Awesome find!

I could not agree more....:)

I know this post is over a year old....but I picked up this 1936 pennant with the Charles Shear tag on the back. I think I'm equally as excited by the tag as I am the pennant.

Nice pennant.

Excited to add this to my collection of Tiger pennants. It's not in the best shape and needs a little cleaning but overall I'm happy to have it, especially since I've never seen one come up for sale before.

If you’re a team collector (and I think you are), you’ve gotta jump on stuff you’ve never seen, even if the condition is less than ideal. Great find!

Looks like they "borrowed" the Cincinnati Bengals first year Tiger mascot for this one. They took the football out of his paws and lost the flying helmet. Makes sense in terms of the timing as well (1968).

Interesting, as the Tigers seemingly had endless Tiger designs to draw from (without having to steal from the lowly Bengals!) First time I've seen this one... great find!

My favorite Tiger is the Slightly Disapproving Parent Tiger

Cool pennant. Not many dated pennants from the 1930s. Which raises a question. Why is it that there are so few identifiable pennants from the 1920s? Seems like there are many more from the teens than the decade that followed. It appears that it didn’t pick back up until the mid 30s.

Mark? Domer?
